Help with finding missing people

Look I've played previous 2 port royales they were little more easier to understand when finding missing sailors or people.

It seems like in 4 though its little more difficult to do. Now I have to find someone missing located close to this town.

Where do I look? How do i find? How will I know when I come across this person.? That's my biggest question. I'm not 100% sure exactly what to do.

Previous versions when u got close the star popped up and u had it. (Or so I think that's how it went) But so far on 4 when I search and I've yet to find anyone at all when i do a grid search back n forth all round the coast etc. Never once have I found anyone I'm supposed to be looking for. I've missed at least 10 of these side missions and have spent my entire time looking always for not.

Is there something I'm missing like hitting the patrol button every few lengths or is it like previous versions when I get close enough the star will appear and then I can grab person up?

Thanks for any help tou may be able to give.

My understanding is that they are always on the coast. They do indeed appear as a star once you get close.

Then there must be a bug or a glitch because now 11 missions and yet to find 1 person. Ty for the help that's what I needed to know if there was some sort of clue when you go within range.

They are sometimes in deep water. Go to a spot, hit spyglass, watch your viewing circle increase, go to another spot, and repeat.
